Osteotomies

Osteotomy is a surgery to shorten or lengthen bones, correct any malalignment, or correct improper fracture healings. In these surgeries, a bone is cut, added, or shaped to remove deformities. Its main aim is to reshape and realign bones.

Indications

• Relieve pressure in osteoarthritis
• To delay bone replacement surgery in young people
• Shift weight from damaged joints to healthy joints
